Adrian is right , but if you only need an extra 30m to 50mm of shaft it won’t have to much adverse affect.
I only needed an extra 40mm of shaft to keep the weights together and my mounts performs very well
I was going to get a guy I know to make me up a 120mm extension shaft including chrome plating etc... but it was going to be triple the cost of buying
a Skywatcher 190mm extension bar , so I bought the Skywatcher part
